PayPal was among Michael Burry's recent software purchases and fits my broader view that beaten-up payments/software names merit a look as part of a potential software recovery, even if it's not on my personal 12-stock long-term list.
Analyst's reasoning:PayPal's appearance in Michael Burry's recent software purchases reinforces the analyst's view that beaten-down payments names merit consideration in a potential software recovery cycle, even without a personal high-conviction long-term position in the stock.
PayPal's share repurchases won't lift the stock if the company's story continues to deteriorate, so I take a negative view absent narrative improvement.
Analyst's reasoning:PayPal's continued narrative deterioration means buybacks are unlikely to provide lasting share price support without a genuine improvement in the company's payments revenue story. The negative view persists as long as the fundamental growth trajectory fails to recover.
Celsius is prone to overreactions but the business can report good results and I think it can exit earnings season in the $40–$50 area from roughly $35 today.
Analyst's reasoning:Celsius tends to overreact in both directions, but improving beverage retail distribution and consumer repeat-purchase trends set up for a solid earnings print. A move from ~$35 toward the $40–$50 range is plausible if brand momentum data confirms recovery.
Celsius Holdings' stock is trading lower due to market fears tied to potential Costco-related news, implying near-term downward pressure.
Analyst's reasoning:Market concern over potential Costco-related distribution news is driving downward price pressure on Celsius Holdings, reflecting fragility in beverage retail sentiment tied to key channel dependency. Near-term downside is implied by the fear-driven market reaction to unconfirmed distribution changes.
ADBE is a sticky, subscription software business with resilient free cash flow that the market is undervaluing after AI fears—Firefly is positioned to enhance Photoshop rather than replace it, and the stock’s massive drawdown creates an attractive gap between fundamentals and the price.
Analyst's reasoning:ADBE's Creative Cloud subscription model and Firefly integration position AI as an enhancement to Photoshop rather than a replacement threat. The large price drawdown has opened a meaningful gap between depressed market sentiment and the company's resilient free cash flow fundamentals.
Adobe's buybacks won't cure a worsening business narrative, so I view the stock negatively until the underlying growth story improves.
Analyst's reasoning:Share repurchases are insufficient to reverse Adobe's worsening business narrative, as the underlying growth story has not improved to justify a positive outlook. The stance remains negative until fundamental revenue growth dynamics show meaningful recovery.
"ROOT targets only good drivers via telematics and embedded insurance partnerships, achieving a best-in-class 60-65% loss ratio and sustainable profitability."
I’ve been secretly buying this stock for the past few months
"dLocal is a long-term emerging-markets payments winner—TPV is up over 70%, with higher take-rate potential than Visa despite recurring volatility."
Dlocal (DLO) stock will always be volatile
"I prefer owning dLocal because its cross-border payments business aligns with my worldview of investing in companies that deliver differentiated, scalable payment infrastructure."
"CELH is a compounder where Alani Nu plus Pepsi distribution should drive growth, and a high PE after integration doesn’t imply permanent cash-flow damage."
"WISE’s US (NASDAQ) listing should unlock shareholder value because it doesn’t change the fundamentals but increases visibility to US bank partners in a highly fragmented market, improves liquidity for shareholders/employee share trading, and can lead to index/ETF buying that pushes valuation closer to US fintech multiples."
Wise US Listing matters more than you think
"WISE should be the cross-border winner because it minimizes correspondent banking via its ledger model, uses banking licenses/direct central-bank connectivity to cut intermediary bank fees, and targets very low cross-border pricing (0.52 percentage points vs a central-bank goal of ~3 percentage points) while processing most transactions in under 20 seconds—improving unit economics without relying on hedging."
WISE vs REVOLUT vs STARLING vs REMITLY vs AIRWALLEX
"FLUT is an example where a similar listing move was followed by a stock crash afterward, reinforcing that listing-location alone isn’t sufficient for long-term outperformance and the company still needs to execute."
"BKNG is a cyclical business where Middle East war and recession fears are short-term noise, and the long-term setup is still strong because travel demand should keep growing faster than world GDP while repurchases and the merchant booking model (plus alternative accommodations and mobile/direct booking) can drive EPS growth faster than revenue."

Booking Holdings Earnings Disappoints
"Booking Holdings' 25-for-1 split (one share -> 25 shares; shares outstanding ~32m -> ~800m) doesn't change fundamentals but I view it as modestly bullish because it lowers the nominal price, eases stock-based-compensation mechanics, and should increase retail accessibility, liquidity and marginal DJIA eligibility."
Publish-day $176.19 · 04/06
Booking Holdings stock split matters more than you think
"RELY is mostly a “physical cash” alternative rather than the lower-cost cross-border leader because the speaker says its cash-based approach requires physical cash handling and comes with much higher rates versus WISE’s lower-price structure."
WISE vs REVOLUT vs STARLING vs REMITLY vs AIRWALLEX
"PayPal's share repurchases won't lift the stock if the company's story continues to deteriorate, so I take a negative view absent narrative improvement."
"Caesars Entertainment was one of my best short-term investments during its acquisition arbitrage and recovery, so I view that past trade as a high-conviction, positive outcome."
